Sherlogs

Log management tool

Requirements

Install Docker Desktop, Docker Compose, and Node

Installation and setup options

Clone down this repository. You will need git, node and npm installed globally on your machine.

Create a .env file using the template in the .env.template file to set the environment variables.

Docker Setup

You will need to ensure your machine meets the requirements for Docker Desktop. Follow this link to view setup documentation per your operating system.

If you are using macOS or Windows, Docker Compose is included as part of the Docker Desktop installation and does not need to be installed separately. For Linux systems, or if you have trouble running Docker Compose, follow this link to view further documentation and instructions for installing Docker Compose.

You will need to set the MONGODB_URL variable in your .env file to mongodb://mongodb:27017/sherlogs. If you alternatively want to use the Sherlogs application locally without Docker, you will need to create your own database and set the MONGODB_URL to your personal database connection string.

Lastly, you will need to set the PORT variable in the .env file to match the port that the node_container is running on, 8080.
